Encounter paradise at the oceans edge in a high-end floating home! Pets welcome.
If you have ever wondered what it's like to live in a stylish floating home near the oceans edge, here's your chance!
PARADISE ON THE OCEAN!
"Ocean Suites #1" is a beautiful and modern floating house located on the Pacific Ocean within the Vancouver Harbour at Mosquito Creek Marina in North Vancouver, BC. You will be surrounded by the beauty and peacefulness of the ocean’s miracles. Random visits and sightings of the local marine life, which frequent, near, under and around the float home, will bring a smile to your face and entertain you for hours! The random gentle rocking of the float home when the tide comes and goes is subtle. It reminds you that you are on a holiday and the only task to do is to breath in the fresh ocean air and enjoy the moment! It is a fantastic space to be experienced throughout the full year.
CLOSE TO EVERYTHING:
Ocean Suites Float Home has quick and easy access to downtown Vancouver or other West Coast attractions. Daily requirements, such as grocery, pharmacy and liquor stores, pubs, restaurants, shopping, breweries, entertainment and much more are only minutes away. The popular Lonsdale Quay and Seabus is a 10 minute walk away along the beautiful seawall.
Ocean Suites is located in close proximity to the local North Shore mountains where one can take pleasure in world class mountain bike trails and hikes during all seasons, as well as, ski and snowshoe days in the winter. Ocean suites is an hour and 45 minute drive to Whistler.
PLEASE BE OUR GUEST!
The float home is to be enjoyed by those who are seeking a unique, quiet and fabulous get away. Couples, families, solo adventurers, business travelers, honeymooners and guest’s pets have raved about their positive and wonderful experiences at the float home and the surrounding beauty and conveniences. Ocean Suites is NOT a party destination and is completely smoke (of any kind) free. . The original renter must be over 25 years old.
MARINA LOCATION & ACCESSIBILITY:
This floating home was built on the ocean in 2014 and is moored at the modern and safe Mosquito Creek Marina which occupies ancestral lands of the Squamish Nation. The ramp and docks to the float home are accessible, wide and stable. The docks do not have railings; thus children and pets must be supervised to ensure their safety. Once inside the main entrance of the float home, this first level suite is accessed on the main floor.
IMPECCABLE STYLE & BREATH TAKING VIEWS!
This high-end lower level suite is in impeccable condition! Every detail was considered, and only quality furniture and furnishings were chosen. It has been beautifully designed with everything you need to enjoy a comfortable, relaxing and self sufficient get away. This lower level suite has heated Italian tiled floors and is bright and sunny with large, wide windows so that you can enjoy the Marina views night and day. The windows can be opened wide bringing the outdoors, indoors! The Vancouver city skyline and lights can also be seen in the distance while you prepare your meals in a well stocked kitchen, or while get cozy in the living room and watch Netflix on a large flat screen TV.
Both bathrooms are modern and tastefully decorated with the latest fixtures, ceramic tiles and ample storage for your comfort. Bath and hand towels are provided. Hand soap is provided, however you will need to bring your own body and hair soap.
SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS:
The float home can sleep 5 people comfortably. The sleeping arrangements include one master bedroom with a queen sized high quality comfy mattress. The high end Italian Murphy bed also with a queen sized memory foam mattress is located behind the sofa against the wall in the open living room area. One comfortable and modern pull out sofa for an extra guest or the children in your party. All bedding is provided. A baby’s play pen is available upon request.
CONVIENIENCES OF HOME:
All the general conveniences of home are provided so that you can be comfortable and be as self-sufficient as you please. The kitchen includes all dishes and cooking supplies, dishwasher, fridge with a large freezer, stove and oven, regular drip coffee maker, toaster, blender, kettle, microwave, and a dining area. There is one large full bathroom and 1 smaller bathroom with a shower only. Also available for use in the laundry room beside the suite is a Miele washing machine and dryer. We supply laundry and dish soap, paper towels, toilet tissue, linens, bedding and towels. A drawer unit and closet space in the master bedroom is available to store your clothing and belongings.

LOWER LEVEL LOCATION:
"Ocean Suites #1" Float Home has two separate and independent suites from each other, one on the lower level and one on the upper level. Each having their own secure entrances and amenities. This suite is located on the lower level of this 2 story building.
It is possible that other guests or the owner may be staying in the upper suite during the same time as your visit. Not a concern, the Float Home has been built to ensure that most noises will not be heard between the suites. We are confident that our guests will enjoy privacy within their quiet, secure and independent spaces.
